Toshiba Magnia Z500 - Manual (Page 63)

Memo
Once you finish the authentication, it becomes valid until the WEB browser terminates. Therefore,
the authentication is required only when you first access the setup page. It is not executed when
you accessed another setup page after finishing the user authentication to access the first setup
page.
Memo
As explained in 3.5.2, the user name and password are used only to access the setup page of the
Linux-version MAGNIA Software Access Point.
3.5.2.2 Setting authentication information
This section describes how to set up the user name and password to be used for the user
authentication.
1.
Addition and change of user name and password
The htpasswd command is used to add or register a new user name and to change the
password for the preset user name. Either setting can be made by the same operation.
When adding the user name tsap as a specific example, log in by root and execute the
following command.
Then, the system executes processing interactively as shown below and proceeds to the
password entry and password reentry (for confirmation).
If the password is correctly entered, the setting ends up here.
When the user name tsap has already been registered, the password needs to be changed;
therefore, the last message changes as follows.
# htpasswd /etc/sysconfig/tsb/.htpasswd tsap
New password:
Re-type new password:
Adding password for user tsap
←Enter the password here (not displayed).
←Reenter the password here (not displayed).
# htpasswd /etc/sysconfig/tsb/.htpasswd tsap
New password:
Re-type new password:
Updating password for user tsap
←Enter the password here (not displayed).
←Reenter the password here (not displayed).
# htpasswd /etc/sysconfig/tsb/.htpasswd tsap
2. Deletion of registered user name and password
To delete the registered user name and its password, the setup file needs to be directly
edited. The setup file is /etc/sysconfig/tsb/.htpasswd. In the setup file, one use is indicated
on one line as follows: (User name):(Encrypted password)
Each user can be deleted by deleting the line that begins with its name.
‹Notice‹
If all of the registered user names are deleted, the user authentication always fails, making it
impossible to access from the WEB browser to the setup page. Leave at least one user
name registered so that the setup page can be accessed.
Memo
As explained in 3.5.2, the user name is used only to access the setup page of the Linux-version
MAGNIA Software Access Point.
